    freeing memory

    Hi there!

    I want to know how could I free some memory reserved in a function. I have de function like this:

    Code:
    char *functionname(parametres){
    code
    line = calloc (100,sizeof(char));
    code
    return line;}
    And I want to free that line, I think freeing line in the programe doesn't work. Could anyone help me?

    Code:
    char *getstuff( size_t s )
{
    char *c = malloc ( s ? s : 1 );
    return c;
}

...

c = getstuff( 1000 );
if( c )
    free( c );
    What part can't your figure out?

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
